 Epidendrum quadrotum Klotzsch in Allg. Garienz. 1850. 402. 

 Wild in Guatemala — Skinner; Costa Rica anil Veragua — Warczewilz ; Mexico on 

 porphyry rocks near Ooxaca , at ihe elevation of 7 — 8000 feet — GaleoUi 5080; Ha- 

 cienda del Carmen — Hartweg (v. v. c. et s. sp.) — A small dull - brown - flowered 

 species. The form of ihe lip , the flask or bottle - shaped pseudobulbs , and the acu- 

 minate leaves wiih wide internodes , especially distinguisli it. It seems to be common 

 from Mexico to Panama , and to preseni many varicties in the form and collosities 

 oflls lip. In ihc original Guatemala plant the lateral lobes oi Ihe lip are triangular, 

 and ihe tubercies arranged in three rows in front of downy callus; in Galeolti's 

 Mexican specimens ihe side-lobes are round , and the luberoles scaltered wiihout order 

 over Ihe lip. Other dilTerences seem lo occur amoiig plaiits examiiied by M. Reichen- 

 hach , but I caiinot ihink ihem of speciflc value. I learn from M. Pescatorc that lliis 

 is ihe E. Lunaeanum of A. RicRard.
